Over the past 100 years, humans have started to see mutations to their genes, presumably the next stage of evolution, granting some of them extraordinary powers. Not much is known about these humans, but they are widely feared and discriminated against where they are found to exist.

Powers: The strength of a mutant’s power affects their physical form. For most people, this takes the form of a decrease in physical strength and durability with the increase of the strength/range of their power. A select few are able to maintain their strength and durability, but at the cost of physical deformation that makes them much easier to single out and harm. These traits (called class B traits) generally manifest by the time a mutated child is four years old, though mutant powers themselves can manifest at any time up to and including puberty, depending on the person. In cases where abilities manifest after the age of five, it is often during a time of extreme stress. L5 mutants, due to the subtle nature of their powers, tend to be more noticeable by the changes to their physicality rather than the development of their abilities.

Daily Life: Many people living with mutations in the year 2174 have found hiding to be their best defense against those who would harm them. Unfortunately for some, namely class L1B/L2B mutants and those with particularly explosive or otherwise noticeable abilities, this is not possible. Anyone who cannot hide, protect themselves, or find suitable allies usually doesn't make it past young adulthood.

The Pro-Mutant Union: In recent years there have been a few grassroots efforts to make the world a safer place for mutated humans. They're commonly classified as agitators and ignored, but their movement is gaining traction.
